Kushner resurfaces with op-ed on the Middle East


Washington (CNN) Top Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner resurfaced on Sunday by penning a Wall Street Journal op-ed about the Middle East, his first public remarks since the end of the Trump administration and offering a potential indication into how he will seek to cement his own legacy and accomplishments. In the op-ed, Kushner touts the Abraham Accords and calls on President Joe Biden to "build on the progress in the Middle East," mostly praising his father in law's policy but also offering some encouragement to Biden. Kushner, one of the most omnipresent officials in the Trump administration who was tasked with far-reaching responsibilities from Middle East peace to criminal justice reform, has maintained a low profile since leaving the White House, moving from Washington to Miami with wife Ivanka Trump on January 20. "Right now, he's just checked out of politics," one person told CNN, with several people telling CNN that Kushner is truly -- this time -- effectively done with Trump's rhetoric. But two other people who spoke with CNN indicated that Trump has been telling those in his inner circle he is angry with Kushner.
